"The hotel wasn't in the best shape, and remodeling was underway. There was paint falling off the walls, and the room numbers were taped on the doors. Housekeeping didn't service our room during our stay. The view of the hill from the window was underwhelming. Because of Covid, the pool wasn't open and there was no breakfast. Stay somewhere else.2020-06-17"

"Good hotel, but the cable TV wasn't hooked up; I had to call maintenance. 2019-06-06"
"The sofa and chairs were dirty, and so was the hallway carpet. The bottom of the bathtub needed cleaning. Consider other hotels.2018-09-26"
"Everything was great. Decent room for a decent price. Free wireless Internet and breakfast. The staff was friendly, and the pool was good-sized and clean. I couldn't have been more satisfied.2016-09-12"

"The hotel room was spacious and clean, but the hallway and elevator were dirty. I'd stay here again.2017-06-05"
"This hotel needed attention to detail. The bed was sloppily made, and the towels were poorly folded and thrown on the shelf.2015-08-24"
"I requested a 1st floor non-smoking room, but got a room on the 3rd floor that reeked of smoke. The hotel clerk said she'd call when another room had been serviced, but that never happened. We ended up sleeping with the AC on high and the window open. Don't recommend.2015-08-22"
"The front desk clerk had a cigarette behind her ear and called me "hun". The carpet in my hotel room was stained, and there was a beer cap on the floor. No key for the in-room safe.2015-08-21"
"The hotel room was clean, but there was hair on the shower curtain. The elevator was out of order for a short time, and we were on the 3rd floor.2015-08-02"

"Great location. The room was nice and clean, and the hotel clerk was helpful and friendly. Good place to stay.2018-07-13"
"Clean room with a comfortable bed. The hotel staff was friendly.2017-06-03"
"The hotel room was fine. I liked the breakfast bar. The hotel couldn't help us when we got stranded at the end of the light rail line, and there were no taxis available. 2016-08-10"
"Reasonable price for a suite. The room was nice and clean; it felt like we were staying in a fancy hotel. Had a sofa bed and fridge. Nice view, too. The only problem was that the AC didn't work well, so the room was too hot. Plenty of towels provided. The front desk clerk was nice and let us check in early. Plenty of parking. We were impressed and would definitely stay again.2016-06-08"
"I was happy with my hotel stay. The room was clean and quiet, and the staff was nice. Wonderful hot breakfast with numerous choices. Highly recommend.2015-06-17"

"There was a bug in the room the 1st night. We were given a room change, but no one helped us move our belongings. The hotel manager never called as promised. Not the standard I expected.2017-06-04"

"The hotel was nice, and the room was always clean. The staff was pleasant, helpful, and respectful. I felt safe and enjoyed the quiet.2017-11-19"
"The location didn't seem safe. There were people loitering in the parking lot when we arrived at 1 AM. The room smelled like smoke. The bed was tiny, and there was hair all over the sheets. When we complained to the hotel clerk, we were told that the sheets were changed twice a week, which was unacceptable. With some persuading, the clerk allowed us to move with our small dog to a suite that was cleaner. We had to have our key card re-programmed twice. The back of the building was poorly lit, and the entrance wasn't kept locked. Not a good stay.2017-10-06"
"The price was fair, the hotel room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. The sink didn't drain well, and the shower faucet ran. Not happy about the $100 damage deposit hold on my credit card.2017-05-26"
"This hotel didn't even deserve one star. The front desk clerk rudely said I didn't have the room I reserved. The light over the sink didn't work, and it wasn't fixed even after I notified an employee. The elevator didn't have an inspection certificate, and I didn't know the lobby was on the 2nd floor. Good restaurant, but a hotel employee refused to give me a straw for my drink. I won't be back.2016-09-03"
"The drapes in the room didn't stay closed; I used hair clips to keep them shut. The microwave didn't work, and the coffee was terrible. The toilet seat was uncomfortable. Housekeepers serviced our room even though we asked them not to. The hotel staff wasn't friendly and didn't make us feel welcome. The front desk clerk didn't speak English well and was hard to understand. Don't stay here.2015-08-19"

"There was nothing at breakfast for someone who avoids gluten.2019-01-28"
"I had a pretty good stay at this hotel. Nice room with a kitchen and sofa. I was on the top floor, so it wasn't noisy. Limited TV channel selection, and no movie rental available. The day I left, I was asked 3 times if I was leaving and if the room was available. I felt I was being pushed out early.2015-08-24"

"Convenient located. The hotel was pleasant, but only one elevator was working and the wait was long.2018-02-19"
"Convenient to Red Rocks Amphitheater. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. The side door of the hotel was locked when we returned, so we had to walk all around the building to the front. The card reader for our room stopped working. Great breakfast bar.2017-07-11"
